about

"In 40 Years" contemplates the kind of love that only seems to exist in rom-coms. What if love could really last forever? What if growing old is actually beautiful in the eyes of the right person? Fresh from its world debut at my own wedding, this co-production with acclaimed songwriter-guitarist James Bryan (Prozzak, Nelly Furtado, Drake) presents the most vulnerable and hopeful pieces of my heart set to music.

lyrics

I wanna’ play outside in the summer
Forget about the voice of my mother
Saying, “oh, don’t lie out in the sun”

I wanna’ eat like nobody’s watching
Every piece of cake in the oven
Baby, no, won’t share with anyone

In forty years, I wanna’ hear you say
You’re still beautiful and that’ll never change
See I’ve been holding on to rules
That I’d love to break with you
Maybe we could just let go
Maybe we could just get old

Gonna’ let my hair go to gray ‘n
Spend the money on a long vacation
We can go to anywhere we choose

Gonna’ let the kids do the dishes
We don’t have to be so ambitious
We can sleep in every day ‘till noon

In forty years, I wanna’ see your face
With that same expression as on our wedding day
See I’ve been holding on to rules
That I’d love to break with you
Maybe we could just let go
Maybe we could just get old

In forty years, the wrinkles on my skin
Will tell the story of the places that I’ve been
And wouldn’t that be something sweet
You could take the ride with me
Maybe we could just let go
Maybe we could just get old
